JERUSALEM, July 31— Four
Arab political leaders, includ-J
ing the former Governor of,
Jordanian Jerusalem, Anwar,
Khatib. were banished today
from Jerusalem on charges of
"incitement to subversion"
against Israel.
They were awakened at 4:30
A.M., according to colleagues
in the Old City, and shown an
order from the Military Governor's office for their removal
to Safed and Tiberias in northern Israel, for three months.
All were ordered "banished
under police surveillance." The
Israelis did not publish the
names of the four banished
men until their identities had
been learned in the Old City.
I The three others were:
Strongest Move So Far
Dr. Daoud el-Husscini, a former member of parliament, who
was formerly a leader of the
Palestine Liberation Organization in the west-bank area of •
Jordan and a cousin of the,
former Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj':
Amin el-Husseini.
Abdul Mehsen Abdul MczharJ,
a former member of the Jeru-i
salem Municipal Council whoj,
was also described as an Arab ■
nationalist and Palestinian
leader.
Ibrahim Baka, a lawyer and
former member of the Jordanian Parliament who was also
said to be a Palestinian leader.
The action was the strongest
taken so far by the Israeli authorities in fighting the growing mood of rebellion in former Jordanian Jerusalem, which
was incorporated into Israel,
and the occupied west bank.
The decision to move sternly
was taken in a recent scries
of Cabinet meetings. There
were indications that the arrests represented only an initial
phase of the effort.
There was some surprise
aver the selection of Mr.
Khatib. who is regarded as a
moderate and has been one ol
the least outspoken Arab leaders. Other former high officials
lave openly advocated civil
iisobedience against the Is-
•ealis.
